Thanks Tom, I'd tried that, but dependent on the size of the flash member, I would still get errors so this holds until the frame I want to go to is ready. The only caveat is that the builder has to label their flash movies.
On a side note Tom, how do I get on the director beta testing list. I've been submitted for the past five years, are there certain criteria.

It seems similar to when a Flash sprite is first created, you must let it render once before manipulating certain elements inside the SWF as the player (Flash player, aka the Flash Asset Xtra) needs to be given a chance to initialize the SWF it contains and that isn't done until a full frame is rendered. Perhaps if you're swapping to a Flash member you might write a routine that waits until the next frame before doing these operations? Just a thought...
